  Hi Toheart89,

  Have you been selected for the interview? It is more likely that you got rejected because of the interview rather than the failing of one of your modules.

  As for which of the two to apply, I can't really say for you, as it is your own option. An interesting thing to note is that there are some individuals who become an Allied Educator in Teaching and Learning so as to get a good appraisal for them to enter NIE's degree courses. But with your results, I believe that you will actually stand quite a chance of entering NIE directly. 

  Cheers.

  Hi Toheart89,

  It is alright to apply for the both of them. Just to ask, did you attempt to appeal through NTU when you failed to enter NIE's degree course?

  Cheers.

  Hi Toheart89,

  I cannot say for sure, but they will have a record of your previous application and appeal. 

  Cheers.

  Hi Toheart89,

  Applying for both doesn't put you in any form of disadvantage as compared to applying for only one. Thus, I will advise you to go ahead with your double application if you feel that teaching is truly the career for you.

  As a side note, from what I have heard from a friend working in MOE, what the interviewers will be looking for will be passion and commitment, so you may wish to take this into consideration if you get selected for the interview this time round.

  All the best to you for your applications.

  Cheers.

  Relief Teaching: http://www.moe.gov.sg/careers/teach/applying/relief-teaching/

  That is the only kind of contract teaching for someone without teaching qualifications.

  Hi TrueHeart,

   

  I've been accepted for the post of Allied Educator, but the contract length has increased from 2 to 4 years. Any idea why this may be?

  Thanks

  Hi Toheart89,

  Once you have successfully applied for relief teaching, you will have to wait for the school to contact you when they are in need of relief teachers. Sometimes you may not even get called up at all after a few months, as there are plentiful of relief teachers around.

  Teaching in a kindergarten will not really give you any sort of advantage in entering NIE, unless the principal writes a special appraisal for you to show that you have the potential to teach children of higher education levels.

  Cheers.

  Hi Calebyek,

  I am sorry as I have no idea why this is the case. You may wish to call up MOE to find out more about it.

  Cheers.

  Hi. Does anyone know how long before you know the results of your interview for an allied educator (teaching & learning) position? I went for the interview on the 1st of March in a primary school and it has been two weeks since I've heard anything from them. Any way to check on the status?

  2 weeks isn't very long.

  Accept or reject, they will still inform you, so don't worry too much. For those taking dip/degree, some will tell you that they have waited for months for a reply.

  Ah, I see. Thanks for replying. Any idea what mode of communication will they be using to inform of the outcome? Months?? wow, must have been an agonising wait.

  my friend had such interview last year. the question that they ask her are rather generic, like why you want to be a teacher. what are your hobbies, etc. i think moe is quite desperate for teachers, unless you show really bad attitute, they should want you.

  yeah i already went for the interview. so im patiently waiting for the results. Any advice for me so far like will i get the job?

  What other results do you need to wait for? I thought you mentioned about a clearance sms stating that you have cleared the interview?
